When all the red lines on his body faded, the scales covered with cracks were hidden under the skin. There was not a trace of blood on Zero's face, and he didn't know if it had always been like this, with obvious thought on it. His skin is very fair, and he has been soaking in the culture jar without sunlight, making this white color sickly. After walking around the pit for dozens of meters, Zero looked behind him, and after noting down the number of test subjects left, he turned to look at the central area: "We need supplies and rest, let's go to the temporary base first." ”

Subjects did not speak, as if they were born speechless, and apart from roaring and nodding, they were only humanoid machines with independent thinking. Without the slightest suspicion, the subject followed Zero, and on the way, the injuries on his body slowly recovered under the implanted red mercury.

After a few hours of complete darkness, Zero and the remaining subjects reached the foot of a mountain peak and found the marker to burrow into a hidden cave. In the narrow dark cavern, when the light of the fire shines out, the space suddenly becomes spacious. Ahead, several fires were blazing with plenty of fuel, and about forty people in combat uniforms were sitting and resting.

Seeing Zero and the others coming, a dozen or so people immediately got up, and one of them, a man who looked older, walked over and greeted him in a cordial voice: "Mr. Zero, it's an honor to meet you here, I wonder if our Astus family can help you?"

"Have you fallen asleep?" suddenly lit up in the darkness with the light of a lime lamp, and a dozen or so lamps intertwined to illuminate the surrounding area. It is a deep pit that is sunken inward at the foot of the mountain, and there are obvious sharp scratches on the visible stone wall. The light will envelop the area, revealing a corner of the dragon's sleeping body. The black scales fit tightly together, reflecting a little cold light.

"The final inhibitory mechanism in the body has been activated, and a large number of inhibitors released can directly force it into a state of slumber, like the hibernation of many animals. But it is more powerful than that, even if the unsleeping part of consciousness senses danger, it cannot wake itself up. The person who spoke was a woman, wearing a mask, and her face could not be seen clearly, but the voice was very similar to that retold by a recording machine, which was generally emotionless, but had warmth in it.

Saying that, the woman walked over and kicked the dragon in the head, but there was no response: "Look, you can rest assured that you can repair those suppression mechanisms that were destroyed not long ago, and then don't worry, you still have the protectors sent by Avalon this time, and there are several powerful overseers on the side who are silently watching everything here." As long as this dragon is in danger, I don't think he will be hit by these people before he opens his eyes. ”

"So please hurry up and restore those things, the assessment is still ongoing, and no one wants to destroy the things on the dragons when they encounter a few aliens. ”

"Thank you. There seemed to be a smile on the face of the five people who listened carefully to the woman's words, and each of them carried a large box in his hand. Nodding at the woman, the five of them climbed up the body of the dragon lying on the rock, and then the light looked at it, then opened the box, took out the vial, each chose a position, and fell down.

The potion infected the black scales, and instead of sliding down the scales that were naturally isolated from moisture, it seemed to drip in the desert and was quickly absorbed by the black scales. Ten seconds later, a layer of dusty powder precipitated from the black scales, shining silver. Only then did the five of them use their hands to easily pull open the clinging black scales piece by piece, and after breaking the gray skin underneath, a huge inhibition structure implanted in it emerged.

It is still a cylinder like an inhibition tube, and the five inhibition structures that emerge at one end are more or less damaged. After inspecting with the equipment they carried, some of them started repairs on the spot, while others directly lifted the suppression structure, took out the new suppressed structure that had been frozen from the black box placed next to it, and replaced it directly.

More than two hours later, the group boarded the small airship that had come to pick them up.

"The data parameters and the programs that were launched after receiving the signal have all been updated, and this time the same problem will not occur again. The range and power of that attack completely exceeded expectations, and I don't think there were many of the assessors left who were still in the battle. One of the five looked at the black outside the round window and said, "And it would be very irresponsible to let out that immature thing." Facing the loss of control at any time, the strength at this stage is not strong, and it is in the growth period, but after a certain period of time, when the outside world has a complete personality and a more self-consciousness, it is difficult to imagine what that experimental experience will become. The legend of the Knight King is not just based on a bunch of experimental data, otherwise Avalon would not have caused the Knight King to have a fault in the Empire. ”

"Tovelest, as an expelled scientist, naturally has a reason, and we don't need to speculate here. The other ended the conversation at this point, "Before leaving Avalon, he was one of several leading researchers in this direction in the institution. I don't think it's possible for him not to set up some contingency measures to help him delay the time for this kind of problem to be properly handled. ”

The airship quickly rose into the air, and after breaking out of the clouds, the stars appeared. Below, the dragons were still asleep, and they would probably have to wake up until noon the next day.

In the separate ward, Gabriel found fresh flowers from nowhere, and a quaint vase, which they put together on the cupboard next to the bed.

The man on the hospital bed looked at the bouquet with a smile and did not speak. The hair quickly turned white, and the dozen or so tubes inserted into the body have been transporting essential nutrients and various hormones to the withered body that has entered the post-operative aging period, which is used to delay the end of the aging period.

"You still have this power, you can put it with Lady Manshelley, and come out at the right time, it will be much more comfortable than looking like this day by day. Gabriel found a chair and sat down, and said to the man in the hospital bed. It is difficult for her to imagine how devastating and irreversible the aging period after surgery can be for the strong. As the previous patriarch, his strength has also reached the early stage of the fifth stage, although this was a few decades ago, after becoming the patriarch, his strength has not improved much. But for Gabriel, the Five Stages had always been a luxury for her, and until now, she had lost any interest in physical assimilation.

The man shook his head: "Now is the time when the empire is changing the fastest, it is better to wait slowly for yourself to die than to be frozen and keep your life for use in the future." And now there are things to be happy and think about, Ye Jielin can be the first to get a place, which is enough for us to look forward to the things in the future. ”

"Probably it's all Kasia who is on the side to help, and I know Yeterin's strength, and I won't have any chance on my own. "I don't know how the family will feel, Jetlin is not a person who knows quiet, and if she does become one of the knights' squires, it will definitely be very interesting in the future." ”

The man smiled: "I can imagine it." ”

"By the way," the man picked up his words, "those things are still in your hands, right?"

Gabriel nodded: "Not all, most of it was taken back by the family, and now what is left is only a few tenths of the original." But it's enough, whether it's a factory, another shell company, or capital, it can all become Ye Jielin's help. She needs this too, because of you, the family won't pour much into her for a long time to come, and even the qualifications of the knight's squire won't change the minds of those in the Council of Elders. After all, it's mutual, and Kasia's identity is there. Now that the mad girl has been crowned as the Knight King, the major families will stop, but they will not take the initiative to show favor. Quan was watching the movements of the Holy Emperor Hall, and in the news released, they were already discussing the details of this matter with the Sect State. ”
